Curious about this Thursday's lecture? Here's a little bit about it from our speaker, Brent Wilson:

"Today we associate the act of remembering Canada’s war dead with wearing poppies and attending Remembrance Day services at cenotaphs and other sites, events that developed in the years following the end of the First World War. How did New Brunswickers remember the fallen while the Great War was still being fought?

This lecture will explore how New Brunswick’s soldiers serving on the Western Front honoured their fallen comrades. As well, it examines how people living in the province dealt with the deaths of their loved ones both overseas as well as here at home, before these soldiers left for overseas, had returned home and subsequently succumbed to their wounds, or whose bodies were repatriated back to New Brunswick and were buried in cemeteries located around the province."
